1. How to Manage Arthritis Naturally
Arthritis is a common condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
While there’s no permanent cure, you can manage arthritis naturally with the right lifestyle changes, diet, and gentle exercises.
By focusing on overall wellness, many people find long-term relief from pain and improved mobility.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Excess body weight puts added pressure on your joints — especially the knees, hips, and spine.
- Why it helps: Even a small amount of weight loss can significantly reduce joint strain and inflammation.
- How to do it: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid processed foods, sugary snacks, and soft drinks.
2. Stay Physically Active
Regular movement helps keep your joints flexible and reduces stiffness.
- Recommended exercises:
- Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or cycling.
- Stretching and yoga to improve flexibility.
- Strength training to support joint stability.
- Tip: Always start slow and consult a physiotherapist if needed.
3. Eat an Anti-Inflammatory Diet
Food plays a major role in reducing inflammation.
Include these arthritis-friendly foods in your meals:
- Fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and tuna (rich in omega-3s)
- Green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale
- Berries, nuts, and olive oil
- Whole grains and turmeric
